500g Strong Bread Flour
1 Teaspoon large grained seasalt
1-2 Teaspoons castor sugar
1 Jug of warm water
1 Teaspoon of quick yeast
1 Egg
Some poppy seeds
Olive Oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220° C and put parchment paper on a baking tray.
- Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
- Gradually add warm water whilst mixing until the dough is slightly sticky. Stop adding water when the dough becomes sticky!
- Add some olive oil to give the bread flavour, moisture and to preserve it.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth.
- Split the mixture into six sections and roll into ball shapes.
- Leave to prove in a warm place, ie. warming oven, grill which is turned off, for about an hour until the bread has doubled in size.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl and add a tiny bit of oil. Whisk this quickly with a fork. Brush this mixture on the bread roll. Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the top of the bread.
- Bake in the oven until
golden and risen, about 15 minutes. The base of the buns should sound hollow
when you tap them. Turn on to a wire rack to cool.
